At this time, the speakers said that the people of the area gave their ancestral homes for the establishment of the thermal power plant, for which the people have not yet received 100% compensation. Although there is a promise of uninterrupted power supply here, the people are suffering from frequent power outages every day. In addition, unreasonable demand charges and meter rental must be stopped, or else the speakers warned of a movement. - Gofran Palash
